GTKY: Sleeping

When you can't sleep in the middle of the night what do you do?

Re: GTKY: Sleeping

  • If I'm up in the middle of the night, it's usually because of the baby. I can usually sleep well. The only time I couldn't was when I was pregnant. When that happened, I started my blog!

    Being up in the middle of the night is a rare thing, usually because I'm sick.  I either go and lay in the other bedroom or on the couch and watch TV until I fall asleep.

  • I'll take a 1/2 or 1/4 dose of melatonin because I hate not sleeping! Before that I would read until I was tired, it also helped get my mind off things if that was the issue.

  • I usually read. I usually sleep very well so it is very rare that i have a problem. If I am up very early, I usually cannot go back to sleep so I watch TV.

  • I'm boring.  If I can't sleep I just lay in bed still with DH eventually I know I'll fall asleep!

  • I sleep fine for the most part! Once i'm asleep, i generally stay asleep, or wake up, roll over and go back to sleep. Every once in a while i'll have a tough time falling asleep, then i get up and go read or watch tv or something so I don't disturb H by tossing and turning. I've never really had a problem with waking up and not being able to go back to sleep.The ODD time that happens, if it's in the middle of the night, i just try and lay there until i fall back to sleep, because then i'm at least resting...

  • Once I am asleep, I am asleep. I may wake up due to a bad dream or I have to pee, but typically I don't wake up in the middle of the night.

  • Oh man. I dealt with this last night :( I woke up to go pee at 1:44 cuz I looked at my phone and when I got back in bed I was wide awake and could NOT for the life of me fall back asleep. I knew at least an hour had passed so I decided to look at my phone. It was 3:28!! I was up laying in bed for almost TWO HOURS! I could not believe it and I was SO mad. I literally don't do anything but lay there and my mind goes crazy. Maybe I should stop doing that. I don't know.
